Fabiano and Francesca
Considered the master of the modern classic. Japanese craft and the finest materials, shaped by three decades of refinement. Toyama learned his craft from the inside, working alongside Japan's finest artisans before ever designing a frame of his own. Today, he works directly with five masters in Sabae. Frames that feel as considered as they look.

The finest expression of authentic Japanese craftsmanship. Tanabiku encodes centuries of Japanese symbolism into every frame: patterns of eternity etched into the details, engravings drawn from eighth-century temple architecture. Eighteen months in the hands of Sabae's finest craftsmen. Limited to two hundred pieces per model. The pace of true craft.

Award-winning Japanese eyewear that finds beauty in asymmetry, irregularity, and the incomplete. Maruyama spent decades designing for international fashion houses. Then he walked away. "I wanted my own small island," he says. What emerged is rooted in wabi-sabi: beauty in imperfection, in the broken made whole. On paper, they shouldn't work. On the face, perfectly balanced. Conceptually radical, practically flawless.

Avant-garde design at the outer edge of what eyewear can be. Ti Kwa has earned a cult following conjuring frames from unlikely sources: samurai armour, gothic literature, the rough warmth of stone. An in-house atelier with the freedom to experiment without limits. Sculptural, textured, and materials as unconventional as the inspiration. No two are ever the same. For those ready for it, there's nothing else.

Uncompromising craft. Italian design sensibility meets Japanese precision. Marco Lanero grew up on his grandparents' vineyard in Piemonte, the kind of landscape that shapes how you see things. That beauty becomes the standard. A single design can take up to 24 months. Production runs of three pieces. Ten at most. Every compromise rejected. That's what purity of form demands.

The definitive collection of timeless classics. Founded in 1917, with over a century of Japanese heritage in every piece. Each frame passes through hundreds of manual steps and months of patient refinement—simple forms beautifully executed. Where tradition meets precision, the foundation perfected.

A workshop from a previous era. One maker. Every frame by hand. Up to eighty pieces a month. When the old factories of the Jura began closing, the antique machines of French optical craft went silent. By the Mediterranean, they're shaping frames again. Every piece designed, formed, and polished by Yannick. Even the cases, stitched by hand. In a world racing forward, a brand standing still. Exactly as intended.

Bold forms in vivid acetate, from a small workshop on the Italian lakes. A village Fabiano Matteo's family has known for generations, now home to his life's work. No fashion-world posturing. Small batches, rare acetate, and limited runs. A setting that allows for slower, more considered work. Frames that want to be noticed, yet nothing strains for effect. Expressive, yet balanced.

A global studio of one. Eyewear from an industrial design mind. Sculpture, lighting, product design, then Creative Director of a historic French optical house. Now under his own label, he sources components from Japan, France, and the UK, each for what they do best, then assembles them by hand in London. Bold forms that settle into perfect balance. Striking, yet quietly comfortable.

From his atelier in the French countryside of Burgundy, l'artisan Gérard shapes bespoke eyewear from buffalo horn, one piece at a time. The material is nature's rarest offering to eyewear: ancient, singular, and impossible to replicate. Gérard has spent decades shaping, curving, polishing, coaxing the material toward a form it will hold for a lifetime. Six weeks. One pair of hands. Yours alone.
Everything you need to know before your visit.
Every frame in our collection tells a story. We build deep, personal relationships with the designers we represent — visionary creators who bring genuine passion and original thinking to eyewear. We visit their studios, understand their inspirations, and learn the artistry behind each design. This ensures that every piece we carry reflects true creativity, exceptional quality, and unmistakable individuality.
Independent designers represent a different kind of luxury — one built on craftsmanship, not marketing. While mass-market brands rely on logos and ad campaigns, independent creators pour their passion into the work itself. Each frame is handcrafted with obsessive attention to detail, using the finest materials: Mazzucchelli acetate, Japanese titanium, hand-polished finishes. Production runs are intentionally small — sometimes only a handful of pieces per design — making every frame genuinely rare.
Visiting Glassworks is unlike any eyewear experience you've had before. From the moment you walk in, you'll sense the difference — a space designed with the same attention to detail as the frames we carry. Our international team of specialists will welcome you with genuine warmth and expertise. Your visit unfolds at your pace: a personal styling consultation to find frames that truly suit you, a comprehensive eye examination (about an hour with our optometrist), and thoughtful guidance every step of the way. We believe the experience should be as memorable as the eyewear. Enjoy a perfectly crafted espresso, a cold drink, or a glass of wine while you explore our collection in a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere.
Our collection spans the full spectrum — from timeless classics to bold, boundary-pushing designs. Whether you're drawn to understated elegance or a statement frame that commands attention, you'll find pieces that express your personality and give you confidence every time you put them on. At Glassworks, we're committed to finding eyewear that reflects who you truly are.
